F. F. Gerbrant

Who is she?

I know a lot of characters have real world historical counterparts, but if she does I can’t figure her out!!

In so far as I’m aware, she’s an original character. There are number of female scientists of the era that might be inspirations for her, but I can’t find any with the initials F. F. or the name Gebrandt. I don’t recall if we know if she took her husband’s family name when she married - she may not have, if her business was already established in her name.

Thanks for the answer!

That’s great in that Failbetter made a great character, but horrible news for me personally as I was wanting to learn more about her inspiration because I’ve found her becoming one of my favorite recurring characters haha!

My pleasure! She is pretty great. I’m glad she got to open her museum!
